The requirement for the issuance of a certificate of appealability arises under 28
U.S.C. § 2253, which provides:
(c)(1) Unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of appealability,
an appeal may not be taken to the court of appeals from—
(A)
the final order in a habeas corpus proceeding in which the
detention complained of arises out of process issued by a State court; or

(B)
the final order in a proceeding under section 2255.
28 U.S.C. § 2253.
Section 2253 applies only to petitions for writ of habeas corpus. It does not apply
to civil rights actions, such as the instant action, brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Accordingly, Plaintiff's request for a certificate of appealability is HEREBY
DENIED.
